$n$ equal cell having emf $E$ and internal resistance $r$, are connected in a circuit of a resistance $R$ . Same current flows in circuit either they are connected in series or parallel, if
In a potentiometer arrangement. $E_1$ is the cell establishing current in primary circuit. $E_2$ is the cell to be measured. $AB$ is the potentiometer wire and $G$ is a galvanometer. Which of the following are the essential condition for balance to be obtained.
The length of a given cylindrical wire is increased by $100 \%$. Due to the consequent decrease in diameter the change in the resistance of the wire will be .................. $\%$
Six resistors of $3 \;\Omega$ each are connected along the sides of a hexagon and three resistors of $6\; \Omega$ each are connected along $A C, A D$ and $A E$ as shown in the figure. The equivalent resistance between $A$ and $B$ is equal to
Two wires of same metal have the same length but their cross-sections are in the ratio $3:1$. They are joined in series. The resistance of the thicker wire is $10\,\Omega $. The total resistance of the combination will be ............. $\Omega$
